Peacock announced on Friday that Wolf Man, its modern take on the classic monster story starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, will begin streaming exclusively on the service on April 18.
There, the film joins The Invisible Man — from Wolf Man helmer Leigh Whannell — as well as the recent Halloween films and such other popular horror titles as The Black Phone and Five Nights at Freddy’s.
Hailing from Blumhouse and Universal Pictures, Wolf Man follows Blake (Abbott), who while seeking a fresh start, moves his wife Charlotte (Garner) and daughter Ginger (Matilda Firth) to his childhood home in rural Oregon. Upon arrival, they encounter a brutal animal attack, forcing the family to barricade themselves inside the house as an unseen creature prowls the perimeter. As the night wears on, Blake’s injuries worsen, and his bizarre behavior turns monstrous. To protect her daughter, Charlotte must decide whether to confront the danger outside or the growing horror within.
Written by Whannell & Corbett Tuck, Wolf Man hit theaters in January, only grossing around $35 million against a reported budget of $25 million. In any case, the film will no doubt clean up when it arrives on streaming.
